Rock covers. When the cover was better.

I'm not a fan of Jeff Buckley at all. In fact, I don't get what people see in him. If he hadn't died young but instead had simply quit the music business to go be a tailor in Bolivia, I don't think his music would be anywhere near as well remembered.

WHAT?! Are you serious?!

That..... that.. thats just like saying you can't see why water is wet. You have heard Live at Sin-e, right - Night Flight (Yes, I know that's a cover), Last Goodbye, Lover You Should Have Come Over? He could write pretty good lyrics, play guitar damn well, and had one of the best singing voices I've ever heard in rock music. Excuse me while my head asplodes.

Yup. In fact, I gave that record another chance just last year on the recommendation of a young friend whose musical taste I admire. Jeff Buckley just ain't for me. What can I say?

Priest's "Diamonds and rust."
Metallica's "stone cold crazy."(I love queen to death, but this cover rules)
Marilyn Manson- Rock and Roll Nigger
Nevermore's cover of Judas Priest's "Love Bites." I never cared for the original very much at all. NM slows it down and makes it sludgy and heavy as fuck.

Glen Campbell's new cover of Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) is SO much better than Green Day's original.

I find Green Day extremely irritating and quite uninspired personally, but Glen Campbell's version really outlines what a solid piece of songwriting that song is. I offer my congratulations to the GD (Billy something?) singer for his songwriting skills, but not his performance.
